I've never viewed it as a loop hole though.
It's this. Of course not everyone is going to Harvard, nor are they as good as Adfam Fox.

But assuming you never play pro hockey, doesn't college hockey seem like the better route?

Feels like major junior model made more sense when college degrees were rarer.
